where can i find the updates for maker trainer 1
Hi I like making science projects which are related to rc airplane electronics and robotics. In robotics I have made some projects using arduino for eg line follower robot. Soon I come going to make a rc aircraft of maker trainer 1 . As now in my family no one has idea how to deal to with such kind of electronics stuff .After doing some search on rc airplane I came to know about the episode maker trainer so I saw all your 15 episodes. I learned about all the components of rc airplane in detail .So I got all these components and thought to assemble it with my best friend Shravan.
Great idea… Congratulation…
